3204.0. "Spices in bulk?" by WMOIS::RIVETTS_P () Wed Aug 28 1991 13:43

    
         Do anyone know where you can buy spices in bulk.  I used to buy
    them at a food co-op in New Hampshire, but we don't live there any-
    more.  I am in the Gardner area.

3204.3spicesWMOIS::BOHNET_BFri Aug 30 1991 14:0210
    There is a gal in Ashburnham, Kathy Rowe who sells spices in bulk and
    at very reasonable prices.  I'm not sure of her telephone number, but
    it's in the book.  I have bought spices from her before and been
    satisfied.  Can't remember the name at the moment.
    
    Also, while we are on the subject, I have a good amount of fresh sage
    in the garden, does anyone out there in cooks land want some?  Contact
    me off line at WMOIS::BOHNET_B

3204.5Guinea Pepper or Grains of ParadiseRANGER::CANNOYTrue initiation never ends.Mon Nov 18 1991 18:2214
    I am looking for a special spice. I got this from a friend who gets it
    from a wholesaler somewhere in the northwest of the US, Oregon or
    Washington. My impression is that the place was owned by a person with
    an oriental surname.
    
    The spice is called Grains of Paradise or Guinea Pepper. It is really
    good. I got the impression is was an old spice, i.e. known about for
    centuries which had fallen out of flavor and is consequently hard to
    find.
    
    Anybody else ever use this or hear of it or know or any bulk
    wholesalers in the Northwest?

    	Try 'ATTAR' in New Ipswich NH... information should have the phone
    	number. They deal primarily with bulk mailorder, but do have a
    	small retail store (open only M-F, though). Best place I've found
    	to buy spices, herbs, essential oils, potporri (sp?), etc...
    	
3204.7Mushroom Powder?MCIS5::CORMIERTue Nov 19 1991 10:437
    Anybody know where I can buy "mushroom powder"?  I have a recipe that
    calls for 1 teaspoon, and can't find it in my local supermarkets
    (Worcester, MA).  It's a low-fat recipe, so I think it probably needs
    all the flavor it can get.  IF you spot it in your market somewhere,
    please let me know.  Anywhere from Littleton to Worcester would be OK.

They have powder in a little mushroom shaped shaker. I think it is porcini 
mushrooms.

You could buy dried mushrooms and put them in a blender or coffee grinder 
until they are powdered, too.  I use this technique when making mushroom 
pasta.  
3204.9Late, I know, but...ALFAXP::MITCHAMAndy in Alpharetta (near Atlanta)Wed May 05 1993 16:114
You can buy from Watkins Company in bulk or individually.  Send mail if
you would like to see a catalog.
